So Whats the difference.
I prefer Tegrak just because it allows finer control over CPU settings but at the same time it seems more Dev's are willing to add setcpu support into the kernel vs tegrak.
My question is what is the real difference and which do you recommend?
I currently run both, setcpu for its profiles and Tegrak for its finer control, but should I switch to just setcpu or just tegrak?
TIA
Tegrak is a module which sits on top of an unaltered kernel, and alters it. Set CPU needs an altered kernel to function. Tegrak I think is the better and more stable option

I don't think it's wise to have two apps controlling cpu settings at the same time. I would stick to one app only.

Don't run both, they will conflict with one another.
Hi, I am running leedroid's v5 and it works perfect but the governor smartassv2 is a little strange
Because after some time it locks to highest clock set and never go down again until I change governor and back again.
Is it supposed to work like this? How is it really supposed to work?
What governors do you guys recommend?
what oc program are you using?
System tuner pro
But leedroid just announced that there is a problem and he's trying to fix it so right now this thread is solved
Hi.
My question is: Is there a way to overclock the cpu by specifying a set frequency, to run at, when opening a 3d application?
For example: The cpu is running by default at 480/600 (on any min/max like governor). When a 3d app is started the max value should scale up to 787 and then revert back to the default of 600 when the app is stopped/unfocused.
I checked out the profile creation feature of some cpu overclocking apps but didn't find any to provide this kind of functionality.

I don't think you can because setCPU doesn't have that option from what i saw.
Play with the governors, see which one fits your needs. Some of them won't go to 787 anyway if you don't force it to.
Check the governors out :
ondemand – Available in most kernels, and the default governor in most kernels. When the CPU load reaches a certain point (see “up threshold” in Advanced Settings), ondemand will rapidly scale the CPU up to meet demand, then gradually scale the CPU down when it isn't needed.
interactive – Available in newer kernels, and becoming the default scaling option in some official Android kernels. The interactive governor is functionally similar to the ondemand governor with an even greater focus on responsiveness.
conservative – Available in some kernels. It is similar to the ondemand governor, but will scale the CPU up more gradually to better fit demand. Conservative provides a less responsive experience than ondemand, but can save battery.
performance – Available in most kernels. It will keep the CPU running at the “max” set value at all times. This is a bit more efficient than simply setting “max” and “min” to the same value and using ondemand because the system will not waste resources scanning for CPU load.
powersave – Available in some kernels. It will keep the CPU running at the “min” set value at all times.
userspace – A method for controlling the CPU speed that isn't currently used by SetCPU. For best results, do not use the userspace governor.
smartass – Included in some custom kernels. The smartass governor effectively gives the phone an automatic Screen Off profile, keeping speeds at a minimum when the phone is idle.

Hi there, I am using Omega V9.0 with SiyahKernel S3 v1.3.8 and the app EdTweaks. But I can not get hoger than 1.6MHz. I read the specs and it said steps to 1.8GHz with the SiyahKernel S3 v1.3.8.
Is it somewhere hidden?
You need more voltage, but take care.

Use Voltage Control or similar from the Play Store.

But I don`t know what settings for the voltage to get 1.8MHz?
I overclocked my calculator the other day. I got 1,9 MHz. Crazy.
My phone does 1,8 GHz

Hi,
For the 1.8Ghz slot the voltage is 1450mV, try by 25mV steps...
But I don't know the "tolerance" of maximum voltage, in my opinion don't go above 1500mV.
Maybe your CPU can't handle 1.8Ghz, if it's like some other phones, some can handle higher overclock, others can't...
You can use SetCpu, mostly don't set anything at boot...
EDIT:Re reading the OP..., in fact you do not see the 1.8Ghz slot???
Guys I think he is asking why you cannot OC higher than 1600mhz in extweaks.
I don't know whh that happens but you can use setcpu to OC to 1800mhz.

Hi,
That's what I thought after thought , thanks.
It's right in ExTweaks there is not the 1.7/1.8Ghz slots
So you can use SetCpu, the 1.7Ghz and 1.8Ghz slots are present.

Voltage control will override the extweaks settings and sets the voltage according to your oc selection. Just open it and set to 1.8. If all is well you can set it at boot. If nit just reboot and reset but increase the voltage.
You can also check to see what it's running using CPU spy.

But in ExTweaks there is no CPU slot for 1.7 or 1.8GHz. Only 1.6GHz. It has CPU undervolting. Is standard on NO.
But you can override GPU voltages levels. I don`t know how to use these or does it effect on the CPU?
I have use the app CPU Master of AnTuTu. Here there is a 1.8HHz slot but after rebooting and after a benchmark it is still 1.6GHz???
Perhaps I have to use the app SetCPU.
In Cpu Master have you tick set on boot?
Maybe a bit risky to 1.8Ghz unless you have tested this frequency for a long time and all is fine.
In any case with SetCpu the CPU freq remains after reboot.
And this is what I said, in ExTweaks there is not 1.7 and 1.8Ghz slot...Maybe ask to gokhanmoral why or if this is normal?
And the GPU setting affects only the GPU, not the CPU.
You can also try System Tuner on the Play Store for yours CPU settings, but be careful to not multiply the CPU apps setting to avoid conflicts in case of different settings in each apps
For example use only ExTweaks for your GPU settings and only SetCpu for your CPU settings... not more.

So it is better to leave this way, only use ExTweak and uninstall the other tweak apps?
Yes, I would say to keep only one app for your CPU settings.If the 1.6Ghz slot is good enough for you or your usage keep it like that.If you want test above 1.6Ghz then installs SetCpu but use only SetCpu for your CPU settings, not extweaks because there could be conflicts (maybe) if you set 1.6Ghz in ExTweaks and 1.8Ghz in SetCpu, not normally but you never know.
And with ExTweaks you can set many other things with Siyah kernel like GPU, sound, etc... so with this kernel ExTweaks is the best app, obiously
It really depends on what you want LOL, SetCpu is very complete for CPU settings but only for that (volatge, governor settings).
In my opinion just keep ExTweaks with your overclock at 1.6Ghz and you are good!

When I said voltage control, I didn't mean voltage control in extweaks. Voltage Control is an app in the play store which will allow you to set the CPU to 1.8. It overrides the settings used in extweaks. Set it to 1.8 and it will adjust the voltages accordingly. You can even change them independently if you like. Test at 1.8 for a few days and if you have no problems then tick to set it at boot. You will know if it's overclocked to 1.8 with CPU spy also from the play store.

Aha voltage control is an app. I will look for it and found it. Finally there is the 1.8GHz :victory:
What to set with on demand? In ExTweaks they use pegasusq and in Voltage Control they use ondemand. There is also hotplug and performance. Is it better to deinstall the other tweak cpu apps?
Anyway this does not work. The same with CPU Master. Set it on 1.8GHz but it is hanging now with a benchmark. After rebooting it is back at 1.6GHz. Do I have to use another kernel?

First I try what sxi200 said about Voltage Control.
I am not happy
Tested the Voltage Control but after setting it on 1.8GHz and tried a benchmark it is dead :crying:
Had to put the battery out for 10 minutes. I think I use ExTweaks with the Siyah kernel at 1.6GHz pffffffff

Yeah I did set it to 1.8 a while ago and it also hung during benchmark tests. Maybe it needs more voltage at 1.8. Might be worth a try increasing it in the Voltage Control app.
After reboot it goes back to 1.6 unless you set it at boot within the vc app. But risky until you sort out the freezing issues. I'd recommend not to set it for now.
Personally, I found 1.6 to be fast enough so I just use extweaks. Also probably better for battery as well.

Is there a way to manually control both the clockspeed and voltage of the CPU?
I am using the sense 4.5 v3 and I use the program called "no frills CPU control" ans I have set the clockspeed to 486mhz if I am just web browsing, yotube, twitchtv, 1080p h264 hw video and so far it is stll very responsive and smooth most of the time.
I only raise the clockspeed to 1.026ghz if I am watching 720p videos thatis not supported by he accel. Because it gets choppy.
I want to be able to manually control the voltage so I could undervolt which should give me more battery life.

System tuner allows u to undervolt by clock frequencys and it allows our to control the clock speed
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
In order to undervolt you have to be running a custom kernel...it's not supported on stock. Try Awesome Sauce or Evilz, they both support user controlled voltage. You can use system tuner or voltage control, but I had problems getting my voltages to stick after reboot with both. The Viper4g ROM has a built in daemon that allows you to change voltage and it persists until you change it...it's a great ROM otherwise as well, highly recommended.

On system tuner you have to go to settings>active tweaks>re-apply CPU settings and put it to int.d script, it should auto reapply it after each boot
